So...I know eventually I will want more power out of my IS, and I'm not sure if I'd want to get the RC-F or not. A noob question - what would it take (the basics) to put this in a RWD IS350 F-Sport?
- Would the transmission need to be swapped or could it take the torque?
- Any chance of getting the F-Sport's dash wired to the ECU?
- I'm assuming this would likely mean I would have to replace almost everything in the engine bay, correct?
Don't hate...I don't know a lot when it comes to the internals of cars and can only perform the basic maintenance like changing oil, spark plugs, brakes, etc. I know a little about tuning and performance mods. Software/computers are my expertise.

F-Sports seem to be at a disadvantage with the LFA-inspired tachometer if one is probably consudering such a swap. I imagine the 250 base model would be the ideal model for this kind of engine swap? What would be the use of S+ or the Variable Suspension?
What is the projected cost of doing such artistry on this vehicle? 700 hp sounds absurd on a IS.
